Abstract
AbstractPlants of the mildew susceptible barley cultivar Peruvian and the adult plant resistant cultivar Osiris were inoculated with Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei at the first and fifth leaf stages. Samples taken at 32 hr after inoculation were examined by electron microscopy to compare papillae associated either with penetration failure or with successful penetration of the fungus into the epidermal cell and haustorium formation. Four types of papillae with ultrastructural differences could, be classified. Although their definite association with fungal ingress or failure is not possible, our data suggest that papillae with larger, more compacted and amorphous or globular structures may be more effective as penetration barriers than others, with more or less uniform distribution of irregular, smaller electrondense structures.
